Imo is a fun city, Owerri the capital"Otown" is known as the "Everyday is a Holiday place". You have exclusive hotels, night clubs, exortic bars n resturants and most of all imo state is blessed with pretty ladies well endowed n behaved. Its a place where ppl troop in over the weekend to have fun, security is guranteed becos of the structural planning of the state.

Imo state has 5 higher institutions so it tell u how academically oriented they are.

Imo State has the best organised state secretariate in Nigeria and once held the award of the best in West Africa. Imo State has oil but Gas in a highly commercial quantity infact Gas was first discovered in owerri by shell(don't remember d date). Many more facts about imo State but just know that it is peaceful, accomodating, organised and God fearing.

Imo State is best known for:

1. 419 - Imo State is the fraud capital of the East.

2. Hotels & loose women - The name Ada Owerri is no joke. The loose women are not necessarily Imo State indigenes o! And every street in Imo State has at least 3 (no star) hotels.

3. Relaxing and Chilling - Since government is the highest employer of labour, there is really no serious work going on in Imo State so they lose early from work and party like there ain't no tomorrow.. The only other state that parties harder than Imo State is CrossRiver State.

4. Kidnapping... Imo State is presently the Kidnapping capital of Nigeria.

5. Education - which is nothing to write home about. The only decent higher institution in Imo State is federally owned.

6. Nollywood - IMO state folks litter nollywood, since there is no other economic source of income in the state, I guess acting is the next best thing..

To be continued......

Imo is know for the high number of hotels. On average I think it should be 4 hotels per street. And also 5 tertiary institutions in just owerri town.
And the best part, since they have a lot of hotels and many tertiary institutions, the number of gurls and ladies in the town is much. I think owerri has the highest or should be the second highest in the number of love peddlerd in a city. That in owerri I can sleep with a fine young student love peddler for as low as N1k or even N1.5k. And they are happy and grateful. Some are cheaper than that. Some u won't pay, cos the just want u to come with ur flashy car and pick them from their hostel, to show their friends the type of men that wants them and the car that came to take them off or drop them. That's the in thing in owerri.
And they are also know for flexing, enjoyment or partying. That's the typical owerri person.

Imo is simply the heart of Igboland. It is the only State made up of 100% Igbo natives. Imo people like clean environment, clean cars and dressing well. A university degree is considered a prerequisite to starting life whether you want to be a trader or artisan. Then finally Imo consists of several Igbo groups and not just Owerri/Oratta. We have the Oguta which is same group with Ukwuani in Delta, Egbema which is same with Egbema in Rivers, Ohuhu/Ezilihite(Mbaise) which is same with some Abia groups, Ngor which is same with Etche in Rivers, Ohaji which is same with some Ikwerre groups in Rivers, Isu which is the largest group, Oru, Orsu which is same with some Anambra, Agbaja and more.

The bolded is not true. Apart from Anambra, i don't know any SE states that are not made up of 100% Igbo natives. At least i'm sure of Enugu.

Tusky44: Imo state is known for education. It stands behind Anambra in producing world renowned brains but far behind when it comes to business and entrepreneurship. Anambra is the father and mother of all Igbo land.
The topic is about Imo and not Anambra. There is no need for the comparison.
